Remove the KTM 1290 Vapor Canister

The line on the left is a gas tank overflow drain that drains under the bike when you over fill the gas tank. The right tube is the tank vent that goes to the vapor canister. The vapor canister system has a line to the tank which is the tank vent. Another line goes to the throttle bodies with a solonoid in between. The solenoid opens and the throttle vacuum sucks the fumes out of the charcoal canister.

These are the existing drains/ vents exiting at the bottom front of the left side of the bike. The tube with the screw plug comes from the airbox. the next one comes from the radiator expansion tank. The next one comes from the tank gas overflow. The larger diameter tube with the plastic plug is attached to a 'Y' fitting. One side of the Y goes to the fuel tank vent. The other side goes up to the canister vent. You have to remove the big plug to vent the tank.

This is the now open gas tank vent. I wanted to prove that this actually went to the gas tank. With the gas cap open I could blow air into the hose. When I closed the gas cap I couldn't blow any air so this tube definitly vents the gas tank. You have to leave this line open.
